Food & Drink Photography FAQs
Do you shoot commercial food photography in Yorkshire?
Yes. I’m based in North Yorkshire and shoot food and drink photography across the region, including Harrogate, Leeds and the wider area.
Do you work with brands across England and the rest of the UK?
Yes. Most of my work is UK-wide, with shoots regularly in London and further afield. Location isn’t a barrier, I travel to where the brand or product needs me.
Do you work with FMCG and challenger brands, or mainly restaurants?
FMCG and challenger food and drink brands. Packaging, product ranges, campaign imagery and social content, not restaurant or menu photography.
What makes your approach different from other food photographers?
I spent close to 20 years as a chef before picking up a camera, up to Head Chef level. I know how food behaves under lights, how it should be styled, and what actually makes it look real and appetising, not just technically correct.
Do you shoot video as well as stills?
Yes, photography and motion are both part of what I do, not an add-on. Most brands need both for packaging, social and web, so I shoot them together in the same session where it makes sense.
What’s included in a food and drink photography day rate?
Rates depend on the brief, number of products, locations and whether stills, video or both are needed. Get in touch with a few details about the project and I’ll put together a clear quote.
Do you do product-only photography, or lifestyle too?
Both. Clean product and packaging shots for retail and e-commerce, and styled lifestyle imagery for campaigns and social, often from the same shoot day.
How far in advance should I book a shoot?
The earlier the better, especially around seasonal launches, but get in touch even with a tight turnaround and I’ll let you know what’s realistic.
How do I get started?
Send me a message with what you’re working on, the products involved, and roughly when you need it by. I’ll come back with next steps and a quote.
